r^{2}=r^{2}-20r+100+20^{3}
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(r-10\right)^{2}.
r^{2}=r^{2}-20r+100+8000
Calculate 20 to the power of 3 and get 8000.
r^{2}=r^{2}-20r+8100
Add 100 and 8000 to get 8100.
r^{2}-r^{2}=-20r+8100
Subtract r^{2} from both sides.
0=-20r+8100
Combine r^{2} and -r^{2} to get 0.
-20r+8100=0
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-20r=-8100
Subtract 8100 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
r=\frac{-8100}{-20}
Divide both sides by -20.
r=405
Divide -8100 by -20 to get 405.
